291538 - Java (OS/2 Kit for Java Plug-in 1.4.2_05 for Mozilla) doesn't work in FF1.0.3.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Sam Little]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050420 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050420 Firefox/1.0.3

It was working fine in 1.0.2. Since I can't open a console, I can't provide any
more info.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Opening, for instance, the Java ICQ2Go applet opens a blank browser window.
Unlike various similar problems a while ago in Mozilla, Firefox seems to be
aware of the plugin, but it appears not to be invoked properly. Loading stops
quite quickly.

Expected Results:  
Applet should be loaded and executed.

Should be OS/2-only problem; verified on two systems.

Did you put ipluginw.dll in your new install?

What Java, innotek or golden code?

Comment 2

[Sam Little]

I tried adding ipluginw.dll and it had no effect, Mike. Didn't seem to be
required in Firefox 1.0.2, though I didn't look to see if it was automatically
installed.

It's Innotek's Java.

Java will not work unless you install ipluginw. you must have installed it at
some point. Did you copy the DLL and delete compreg.dat?

[Sam Little]

Tried it again, making sure compreg.dat was killed. No change.

That should include the compreg.dat in your components directory in your profile.
